Some Thoughts About Primary '08

I want to say a word or two about the Clinton campaign. Although I praise Hillary for her recently shown grace, it should be said that her campaign has some answering for. Maybe not now, maybe not even in the coming months or even this year. But I think her campaign made a lot of mistakes to say the least. Having said that, I do believe it was her campaign and not Hillary herself that made the bulk of the mistakes. Senator, you showed yourself to be quite the debater, and it can credibly said you out-debated Obama at each and every debate this year (if you can call most of what we saw on the teevee as 'debates'). But your campaign people were in off in la-la land and it was you who suffered. You yourself made some mistakes, yes, but the likes of Mark Penn et. al. have a lot to answer for the divisions they created in this country. We all need to come together and realize who our common enemy is. We need to stop fearing ourselves and the world around us. I hope you recognize this if you haven't already.
